Any materials scientists here?!
Are there any Nano materials scientists reading this thread? I would like to know what the casing on the nano is made of? And is it any different from the other iPods?
I have never thought about scratches on my 2G 20GB iPod, but now I have looked at it. And - wow - it is covered in tiny hair scratches! Which I have never noticed before!
I really dont know if this scratch-story is real or MS-FUD. My nano is to be shipped in a couple of days - maybe I should cancel the order?
Is there anybody here who does NOT have scratches on their nanos??!

I made a sleeve for about 10cents out of acetate sheeting (think thin clear shower curtain) with an X-acto knife. Took all of about two minutes. Never had a scratch since, and you can't even tell it has a sleeve unless you look closely.
Is this a really big and serious problem for Apple? Or is it a storm in a teacup, like when sony rerelease their ipod-killers every couple of months?!
"A second complaint has been that the iPod nano screen gets scratched easily.
Apple moved to scotch such rumours, saying: "A few vocal customers are saying that their iPod nano is more susceptible to scratching than prior iPods. We have received very few calls from customers reporting this problem, and do not believe this is a widespread issue."
The representative confirmed the company to have received "very few" calls claiming such a problem, adding: "The iPod nano is made with the same high-quality polycarbonate plastic as the fourth-generation iPod." "
